FC 25: How to Do the Unlimited Pack Grind
In EA FC 25, grinding for packs is one of the most effective ways to build a powerful Ultimate Team without spending real money. While many players rely on buying FIFA Points, dedicated grinders know that with the right strategy, you can generate unlimited packs, FC 25 coins, and even high-rated players through gameplay alone.
The unlimited pack grind isn't a cheat or a glitch—it's a structured gameplay loop involving Objectives, Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), and smart use of your club resources. This guide will walk you through every step needed to make the most of this grind in FC 25 Ultimate Team.
What Is the Unlimited Pack Grind?
The "unlimited pack grind" refers to a repeatable gameplay loop that allows you to generate packs continuously by:
Earning players and packs through objectives and gameplay.
Using low-rated players in upgrade SBCs to get better players.
Recycling unneeded players back into SBCs to repeat the process.
With the right approach, you can turn a few bronze or silver cards into rare gold packs, player picks, or even TOTS/TOTW players—without spending any FIFA Points.
Core Components of the Unlimited Grind
To get started, you need to understand the major tools of the grind:
1. Bronze Pack Method (BPM)
Buy 400–500 coin bronze packs, sell tradable items, and use untradable ones in SBCs.
2. Upgrade SBCs
Repeatable SBCs that let you exchange lower-rated players for higher-rated ones.
Bronze → Silver Upgrade SBC
Silver → Common Gold Upgrade SBC
Gold → 81+, 82+, or 83+ Upgrade SBCs
Position-specific SBCs (Premier League, LaLiga, etc.)
3. Live SBC Content
Promos like TOTS, FUT Birthday, or Path to Glory include grindable SBCs that reward high-value packs.
4. Milestone and Objective Rewards
Some objectives reward packs for using certain squads or playing modes like Squad Battles, Rivals, or Moments.
Step-by-Step Guide to the Pack Grind Loop
Step 1: Start with the Bronze Pack Method (BPM)
The Bronze Pack Method is the most accessible entry point.
Buy 400-coin Bronze Packs from the Store.
Sell everything that has value (league SBC players, position modifiers, kits, etc.).
Keep all untradable bronze players—especially from minor leagues.
Put non-league SBC players into the Bronze Upgrade SBC.
Tip: Focus on league SBC players (EFL, Eredivisie, Süper Lig, etc.), as these sell well during promo grinds.
Step 2: Bronze Upgrade → Silver Players
Next, put your duplicate or unusable bronze players into the Bronze Upgrade SBC.
Each Bronze Upgrade gives 2 Silver Players (Untradeable).
Store all of them in your club. Don't sell or quick-sell them.
Once you've stockpiled enough silvers, move on.
Step 3: Silver Upgrade → Common Gold
Feed silver players into the Silver Upgrade SBC.
Each Silver Upgrade gives 3 Common Gold Players (Untradeable).
These common golds are the fuel for Gold Upgrade SBCs, 83+ packs, or league-specific upgrades.
Step 4: Gold Commons → Upgrade SBCs
Now comes the important step: putting your gold commons to use.
Option A: Gold Upgrade SBC (2 Rare Gold Players)
Requires 11 gold commons.
Gives 2 rare gold players.
Good for feeding SBCs requiring rares or promo upgrade paths.
Option B: League-Specific Upgrade SBCs
Choose leagues like Premier League, Bundesliga, etc.
Often require a full squad of gold commons or 7-11 gold rares.
Rewards are player packs focused on that league (e.g., 5 Premier League Players, 2 Rares).
These SBCs are perfect for promo grinds like TOTS, where you chase special items.
Step 5: Rinse and Repeat with Recyclables
Every time you complete an SBC, you get a pack with players. Do this:
Use duplicate untradables in other SBCs to avoid waste.
Recycle low-value golds back into upgrades.
Save high-rated fodder (83+, 84+, IFs) for bigger SBCs (Icon, Player Picks, etc.).
This loop continues infinitely if managed properly.
Additional Strategies to Maximize the Grind
Use SBC Favorites
Use the "Favorites" feature to bookmark key SBCs so you can move faster through the grind loop.
Track Duplicates
Use the companion app to quickly handle duplicate untradables. It's often faster than doing it on console.
Complete Objectives While Grinding
Use your upgrade-pulled players in Squad Battles, Rivals, or Moments to complete objectives.
Some objectives offer free 83+ players, Mega Packs, or TOTS Tokens.
Double dip: progress objectives while fueling your pack grind.
Use Moments and Rivals Rewards
Spend Stars earned in Moments to buy 81+ and 83+ packs.
Save Rivals and Weekend League rewards for promos.
What You Can Unlock from the Unlimited Grind:
75–81 Rated Golds
Feed these into upgrade SBCs to pull higher-rated players or rares needed for premium packs.
83–86 Rated Players
Use these as high-value SBC fodder for Icon SBCs, 85x10 packs, or promo-specific challenges.
League-Specific Players
Earn these through focused league upgrades; they're essential for grinding repeatable league SBCs with promo cards.
Untradeable Duplicates
Recycle duplicates immediately into other SBCs—turning waste into progress and keeping the loop going.
Promo Tokens (e.g. TOTS Swaps)
Unlock exchangeable rewards like 85x10 packs or TOTS Picks by combining grinding with time-limited objectives.
Promo-Specific Tips
During promos like TOTS, RTTK, or Future Stars, EA releases limited-time SBCs that are perfect for grinding.
Key SBC Types:
81+ x11 or 83+ x10 Packs – Use your grind fodder to complete them and chase promo cards.
Player Picks – Great for squad-building and dupes.
Daily SBCs – Easy packs daily; always complete these.
During TOTS, you can grind a 75-rated player into a TOTS item if you loop efficiently.
Mindset and Time Management
How Long Does the Grind Take?
A single cycle from bronze to gold upgrades may take 30–60 minutes.
Set aside 1–2 hours a day for maximum efficiency during promos.
Stay Organized:
Track your player stock using club search filters.
Use a spreadsheet or note to track what leagues you're targeting.
Don't hoard—recycle cards as soon as you get them.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Quick-Selling Duplicates
Always try to recycle into another SBC instead.
Ignoring Objectives
You miss out on free high-tier packs by not combining objectives with your grind.
Overdoing League SBCs
League SBCs are great but costly if you're not cycling players into them organically.
Skipping BPM
The Bronze Pack Method is slow but foundational. Don't underestimate it.
Final Grind Routine (TL;DR Version)
Buy Bronze Packs → Sell valuables → Upgrade others.
Use Bronze Players → Silver Upgrade → Common Golds.
Feed Common Golds → Gold Upgrades or League SBCs.
Use Rares → Promo Upgrade SBCs.
Recycle all duplicates.
Repeat indefinitely.
Final Thoughts
The Unlimited Pack Grind in EA FC 25 is one of the most rewarding systems in Ultimate Team for players who want to compete without spending real-world money. Whether you're grinding during Team of the Season, FUT Birthday, or a standard promo, this method puts you in control of your pack luck.
With careful club management, efficient recycling, and attention to SBC rotations, you can unlock hundreds of packs, fill your club with fodder and special cards, and even craft high-end players.
Master the grind, and the best team in FC 25 will be built—not bought.
